The CZ 452, 455, and 457 magazine in .22LR with a 5-round capacity is a compact detachable magazine designed specifically for use with these CZ rimfire rifle models. Built from durable polymer, it is engineered to provide reliable feeding and long-term resilience under repeated use. The magazine is designed to sit flush or nearly flush with the rifle’s stock, maintaining a clean profile that is ideal for hunting, bench shooting, or situations where a low-profile setup is preferred.

Internally, the magazine uses a single-stack configuration that aligns each .22LR cartridge in a straight, controlled position for consistent feeding into the rifle’s chamber. This design reduces the likelihood of misfeeds or jams, which is especially important given the small size and sensitivity of rimfire cartridges. The spring and follower are tuned to apply steady pressure, ensuring that each round is presented at the correct angle for smooth bolt operation. This contributes to the overall reliability and precision that the CZ rimfire platform is known for.

The polymer construction offers several advantages, including resistance to corrosion, lighter weight, and durability in a variety of environmental conditions. It is also less prone to denting compared to metal magazines, which helps maintain proper internal geometry over time. The magazine is easy to load and remove, locking securely into the rifle while allowing for quick changes when needed. Its 5-round capacity is often preferred for controlled shooting scenarios, providing a balance between usability and compliance with certain hunting or range requirements.
